It really makes your day

when you get
a welcome like this

 

 

Sweden won

Yeah,

Sweden just won

the World Mastership in ice hockey.

Johny's big party

There was a big party Friday evening

when Johny celebrated his 50th birthday

with many of his friends

 

That many of his friends shared his interest

in whisky and Scotland

was obvious.

 

Four glasses of whisky from 1963 were presented

 and the color, smell, taste and feel were discussed.

 

Lots of good food

 

was served by the men of the young generation.

 

My nephew's girlfriend played and sang songs

that she has composed herself

 

and William played a fanfare

every time the toastmaster wanted attention.

 

 

Wood anemones

Every spring

my Mom wants to visit the place where she used to play as a child

and see the forest filled with wood anemones.

 

Thursday was a holiday

so we drove to Hörby to have picnic in the forest

and to visit the grave.

 

 

Memory from 22 years ago

Over 7000 girls

ran or walked Vårruset (the Sping race) today.

I ran with Charlene and Eyja.

Last time I ran this race was 22 years ago.

That time I had Charlene in the baby carriage and at the end I carried her on my arm while I ran. 

In the picture above you can see me holding

the picture from 22 years ago.

 

 

 

The local TV station filmed us,

but they had just finished the Live transmission from the race..

 

 

 

Spring celebrations

April 30th is called Valborgsmässoafton

 

 

 

and you gather around big fires and sing songs to welcome spring.

May 1st

is another day of spring celebrations

especially in the University cities.

 

 

We went to the nearby city of Lund

which has a big university and listened to

 Bleckhornen's spring concert.

Bleckhornen is the band that William has joined.
